New Hartford Volunteer Ambulance

04/13/2026

Last week, we took delivery of our new to us 2026 Demers Ambulance replacing our 2010 Lifeline Ambulance! Northeast Rescue Vehicles worked with us to take this lightly used truck and perfect it to meet our needs. A special thanks to the Town of New Hartford and Town of Barkhamsted for supporting the project. As well as Northwest Community Bank for financing this purchase. We could not have done this without the support from our amazing community partners! Keep your eyes peeled for our fresh rig!

🚑💗 BIG NEWS 💗🚑

Due to popular demand (and absolutely no clinical reasoning), our fleet has been upgraded! We are all pink 💗🎀

NH1, NH2, NH3 and Tac-92 will all be getting sent off and wrapped later this week to match our all new pink fleet. This color change is jut in time for Spring! Have no fear we will still provide the same services!

• Same response time�• Same lifesaving care
• Same amazing crews�• Way more ✨pretty✨

✨ New “upgrades” include:
• +10 horsepower from ✨aesthetics✨ alone
• Sirens now 15% louder (because pink travels faster)
• Crew morale boosted entirely by vibe

Don’t worry—we’re still fully equipped… just pink now 💅

Where did our ambulances go?
-
Last night, around 8:30, our primary crew received a call for service, followed by two additional calls. Our dedicated paid staff and volunteers efficiently assembled three ambulances. We are very proud of our dedicated members!

We are always happy to help our amazing mutual aid partners!

Although the installation of plows on ambulances would be desirable, unfortunately, we will not be moving forward with this initiative. However, please be assured that during storm-related calls, our fire department partners and public works will be dispatched to assist with snow clearance. As a general reminder, please remain indoors and exercise caution on icy surfaces.

This is amazing news! Thank you NW Medics for striving to provide the highest quality care for our response area.

As many in the community know, we’ve had blood products in our Torrington area paramedic flycar for a while now. With that being so successful in delivering care to those who need it throughout the county, as of today we are extremely happy to share we have extended our blood program to include our Winsted area paramedic flycar as well. By deploying blood in an additional vehicle in our region, it will allow us to begin administering lifesaving transfusions in the field quicker. Pre-hospital transfusions are no small feat. They require a lot of logistics behind the scene, specialized equipment, and the ability to manage a critical patient’s other needs on top of all the steps needed for a safe and successful transfusion. Pre-hospital blood transfusions along with the many specialized things carried in our vehicles help us provide the best care possible to the community by bringing lifesaving care wherever and whenever it is needed.

Tonight, Chief Maltby and EMT Gallo stood by as the New Hartford Volunteer Fire Department did their annual live burn. This is a great event as it allows EMS to see the inner workings of a fire scene, while also providing safety for the working crews.
